The simple reason could be that for some people food is a triggering factor of migraine. Once the food is thrown up, the pain is automatically relieved.Or it just could be shifting your attention from the pain while trying to vomit. It releases the intracranial pressure.Relieving factors differ from individual to individual

I'm feeling a kind of tingling sensation and sometimes even a numb feeling on the left side of my upper lip. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it common? What could be causing this?

I've been dealing with hypertension and have been taking Olmzest 20 every day. Recently, I've been experiencing this persistent neck and shoulder pain, so I went to see a neurologist who prescribed Trigabantin 300 and Etoshine 120. I've been a computer operator for the past 15 years, which probably adds to the stress. I've already started Trigabantin 300 and it's been two days now. But I'm a little hesitant about starting Etoshine because I read about its potential side effects. Could you give me some advice on whether it's safe to take both medications and if the benefits outweigh the risks? I'm just looking for a second opinion to ease my mind.

I've just been prescribed VenlorXR 37.5 Capsule for my vestibular migraine. I'm really worried and I'm wondering if this is a safe medication to use? Also, could you tell me about any side effects I should be aware of?
